"Breaking News!!!"

    I don't have any actual news


    That's ANNOYING isn't it?
    (Warning: vent session ahead)

    I'm getting extremely annoyed with checking my bleacher report and watching espn lately.

    Articles and segments on stuff like:
    "Browns may trade up for Manziel"

    Then 2 hours later....

    "Browns will likely pass on qb for Watkins or Robinson"

    Or

    "Rift between Harbaugh and 49ers players"

    2 hours later

    Anquan Boldin- "lol wut? Everybody respects Harbaugh in our locker room"

    I'm starting to think no one on any site or show has any valid information anymore... I think there should be standards about for reporting..like just have some kind of factual basis.

    Does this bother anyone else? Especially because I get constant updates on bleacher report on stuff that isn't even important...or true...sorry I just needed to vent!

    Its getting close to the draft?  This happens every year.LOL  Basically teams use ESPN to start rumors and help them get who they want in the draft or leverage value of some kind.  People like Kiper and McShay make the draft even easier for them.  The only people in the world who usually fall for this kind of stuff is the Jaguars.
    I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

    This has always been the time of disinformation coming out of the NFL...right before the draft.

    The Manziel doubt train is starting to gain speed. I like him, but those that hated Tebow will turn on him too.

    Obviously I have been pro Bortles for awhile, but all the people dissing out Manziel means one thing he might actually be gaining steam.  I think a lot of people are wigging out the Jags will take him and are trying to throw them off.  I actually really believe that.  I'm not a big Manziel guy but I'm not really writing him off either, he has teachable flaws and holds all the unteachable things except height.

    Everybody loves hearing what Jaws has to say????  Dude had Brees as his #9 QB last year preseason. SMH

    If I'm a fantasy owner looking for a QB that can run and throw, say to take over for Peyton, I'd rather spend a 1st rd pick on Mariota next yr than Manziel this yr. All this doubt could cause him to slip far enough into drafts to be a no risk pick. Hell he hasn't even been taken in the DC rookie mock we got going on right now. Lot of doubt about this kid.

    Ugh, I throw up in my mouth every time I see a bleacher report headline. What a joke of a site. Their articles are stuffed with more fluff than Winnie the Pooh.

    I get my news 100% from rotoworld and he guys at this site. I stay off social media. I feel rotoworld has to maintain its fantasy reputation and they don't tend to post "fluff" but moreso actual news, and the guys here are pretty good about maintaining their reps by not posting fluff either.

    I rely solely on the best source for breaking news http://www.theonion.com/section/sports/ :D
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Russell Wilson, EJ Manuel, Josh Mckown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Andre Johnson, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka

    (I'm not a expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!)

    I use Roto world and draft calc. I will check a few other sites to see if reports are similar. But mainly stay at these two.

    Mariota is a run first qb though...Doubt he makes it at the next level...

    He's raw and needs a lot of work, but he could take a quantum leap from another year at Oregon. Very wise for him to stay in college. He's got natural athletic ability like Manziel and he can sling the rock with more arm strength than him. He reminds me of Kaepernick and I expect him to add some weight to his frame this year. You're absolutely right he is a run first qb right now and if I had to choose I'd take Manziel over him right now, but he has one thing that can't be taught to Manziel- size. Call me a believer.
